Actually religions ARE bad: they encourage people to act without question, to believe without reason and to propagate and displace all other ways of knowing. Some religions claim to be based on peace, but every religion known to man has been based on intolerance. It's time the human race grows up and throws away old superstitions.
GTFO you underage piece of shit. You're an idiot, like alot of the people in this thread. I was refraining from posting anymore in this thread but your bullshit needed to be addressed. I never said we should kill all the Muslims. All I fucking said, out of this entire thread, was that I hate all religion and hate Islam the most because it is the only religion that hasn't learned to STFU and leave people the fuck alone.Quote:

Religion is a cancer and has been proven evil and the cause of all the world's problems. If you don't see how organized religion is destructive and corrupt, you are an idiot. You are brainwashed. All religion is evil. Islam is just the worst of it, up there with Christianity and Scientology.
Your opinion to say religion is bad, I understand what ya mean about intolerance I think Kaiti took my tolerance over with her Grammar and shitty life beliefs (Hooked on phonics) it works.Quote:

im sorry for being lowly educated and not understanding about this so called religion based on peace=in malaysa sodomy is a jail sentence,the woman usually not the man is stoned for adultry and the word jihad is commonly used.i dont dislike other religions=budhist,jewish,hindu ,oh and all those religions seem to be haveing trouble with islam. but its always islam that seems to be suffering predudice from the others. PEACE=BULLSHIT
LOL grammar? My grammar is near perfect. I can't say the same about yours though. And shitty life beliefs? What belief is that? That all religion is evil? How is that shitty? You're the one that believes in a magical sky man that created everything and watches the world tear itself a part because of his own bullshit mistake, every so often stepping in to commit genocide. Keep on worshipping your magical terrorist man and keep giving away all your money to the Pope. I hope you feel special.Quote:

I hope people have "good morals" too. But belief in a religion is not requisite for being a moral person. Too often religion justifies immoral behaviors and this is precisely because religion is antithetical to reason and thinking "things through". Religion teaches faith, the opposite of reasoned, critical thinking, the opposite of subjecting one's beliefs to openly verifiable tests. Religion is the bane of civilization and if we do not put away our silly superstitious religions they will eventually destroy us.Quote:

Flying Spaghetti monster
hey sorry about my spelling . i wish muslims didnt exist but then i suppose some other bunch of nasty violent intolerant bastards would replace them
Its very interesting to simply remain silent and let others speak their mind. They often do more damage to themselves and expose their own ignorance, bias or downright stupidity then I ever could by engaging in debate.
So please continue, thankfully the views expressed are not that of most Americans or Westerners I know, regardless of their religions.
"The kindest word in all the world is the unkind word, unsaid."
Too often the choice to not follow religion is the justification of immoral behaviors as well. I've met many non-religious people that did something immoral to--more or less--prove the point that God doesn't exist. Not all, of course, but it's one example. My point is just that it goes both ways.Quote:

Good consequence can come from thinking things through and bad consequence can come from not thinking things through. Good consequence can also come from not thinking things through and bad consequence can come from thinking things through too much. But consequence is only found in morality (those who are immoral...for example, serial murderers...serial rapists...do not fear consequence because they subscribe to a different set of morals, or have none at all).Quote:

Critical, reasonable thinking should lead me to the decision to not let this new person in my life because based on my own openly verifiable testing (i.e. my relationship history), I have a habit of picking women with the absolute worst possible qualities. I've known this new person for eight years and hadn't seen her in five. I've been in love with her since the moment I met her, but now that we're both grown and have seemingly put away childish things, I'm ready to take what we both acknowledged we never should've let go of in the first place (each other). And I'm ready to do so without the baggage of what any sane, rational person would guard themselves from because I'm going on the faith of what I know about her and what I've always known about her. She is completely unlike any woman I've ever known and she makes me better and I have faith she will continue to make me better. And I, to her.Quote:

You submit yourself to the idea of something unseen, something that, to this day, has not really been scientifically proven beyond much more of anything than several theories and mostly unverifiable "tests". We choose believe in it when things are good, when things are bad and everything else in between. I suppose it is then fair to call love a "silly superstition" also, but 'tis one I am okay with believing in if for no other reason than, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Seriously. :)
Religion isn't the bane of civilization. Intolerance and non-compassion toward differing opinions is. That's what has always separated us as a society and that is what will continue to separate us. You'll find intolerance and non-compassion in the religious and non-religious alike.Quote:

Others are more than welcome to disagree, but if I've been disrespectful in anyway, my sincerest apologies as that was not my intention. Also, I apologize for going off topic but I thought the idea of compassion and tolerance was relative to what's not happening in Gaza/Israel.
